INTHE MARCH OF PROGRESS.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-The bureau
of statistics to-day issued in large volume
report upon the commercial and indus
trial conditions of transportation and ether
facilities of Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and Ken
tucky. The information was collected by
expert agents detailed to each of these ten
States. The development Of transporta-
ton by railroad and water, the growth Of
agricultural and mineral operations, &C.,
are given in great detail Chief Switzler in
reviewing the report says:
s'Whatever speculatious may be deduced
from the exhibit here made, or the lessons
it may teach our statesmen, it will not be
questioned that the reports furnish eviden-
ces of recuperative energy and of material
progress and development by the Southern
people unexampled in the history of our
civilization in short, that the new and
the mightier South is rapidly emerging
from the blight and desolation of the civil
war, and promises in a short time to attain
high degree of prosperity This marvel
lous development can be truthfully affirmed,
not simply or chiefly in respect to railway
transportation or to mining or manufac-
tories. but to every material interest of the
South and to almost every section of it.
The exceptional sections are those which
are destitute of direct railway or water
communication with the markets of the
| world. These and these only are yet to
| feel the forces which quicken the sluggish
currents Of the old life, and these, no doubt,
| in comparatively short time, will hear
the whir of the wheels that weave the web
of towns. The contents of this report will
be revelations to the country even to the
i Southern people themselves, for they dis
close wealth of opportunities for enter
prise and industry which is unparalleled =
The advantages of the South for agricul-
tural pursuits, not simply for the cultiva-
tiou of cotton, sugar and rice. but for agri-
cultural development in all its branches,
and for manufacturing for mining the
precious metals, for coal and iron (Which
are more substantial foundations of pres
perity), for numbering and for stock-rais-
ing, are being appreciated by the people Of
other parts of the Union and already thou
sands of enterprising immigrants from the
North and West, and millions and even
hundreds of millions of capital are pouring
/ into the Southern States"

StaUnton's Gem.

The people ofStaunton now and n all future
time will have abiding interest in the
Water works, which furnishes so much of COM
fort and is the ever safe security against the
spread of flames. The works and the superior
abundance of water they are capable OF stor-
ing. may well be counted gem indeed.
The new pump. which the Council recently
ordered. is now in position, and is throwing up
to the reservoir one and a half millions Of
gallons of water in twenty four hours. When
the last piece of machinery was adjusted
yesterday to its place, and the driving force of
steam applied, 1t lifted its charge of water up
the long slope to the reservoir without
the slightest jar. and almost noiseess in easy
working joints and pistons. 1t is called the

Another tablet of liks character has its place
with the names OF the Council Committee on
Water-C. Bargamin. W. P. Tams. John Nc
Quaide, and on the surmountirg steam con-
denser in a circle is the following inscription
.'Built by the Deane Steam Pump Co., Holy
oke, Mass, Z. s. A, 1885," A handsome cover
ing of oiled walnut is ready to take its place
over nearly every part oft Mr.. F. FL. Hays,
Erecting Engineer Of the Works, placed it in
position. The connecting steam and water
pipes were made at the factory from measure
ments taken here and complete without
the least alteration.
The old Council set apart $1,000, with which
the second pump was to be purchased. That
amount was sufficient to erect the addition to
the building as well as to pay for the pump,
which cost s., 800.
During the Spring, the Committee expect to
improve, and to some extent beautify the
grounds at the Pump house. Mr.. Bargamin
ofthe Committee on water, has asked for $500,
ofthe appropriation for support OF the wafer
works. with which judlcous commence
ment on that line will begin.

AN AsrouNp1Ne MovE.-we have bear

AN ASTOUNDING MovE.-We have heard
a good deal about Mr.. Royals perform
ances in this State, but his latest sounds
like the invention of humorist rather than
the statement of sober fact. In few
words, he has sued grand jury, and this
because of acts performed in obedience to
the Statutes of the State. He takes his
case, as usual, into the Court of Judge
Bond, where almost anything can be done
that degrades the State. But we hardly
think such body as grand jury can be
assailed by Federal Court, for to say no.
thing Of the question ofjurisdictien, it weuld
be simply rulnous for such body to be put
under hack and bullied by any wreng-doer,
even by Mr.. Royal. But there is another
aspect to this matter which concerns the
bondholders. 1t is, that the coarse of Mr..
Royal has already exasperated the people,
aud if the process of nagging the State and
the State officers is to go on we think it
will prove costly business in the end for
those whom that gentleman represents

STREETS OF THE CITY.
PROTEST AGAINST CHANGING THEIR NAMES
For the SPECTATOR.

For the SPECTATOR.
From the proceedings of our City Council, re-
ported in the SPECTATOR, learn that 1t is pro-
posed to change the names of many, If not all,
Of our streets The only members of the Coun-
Gil mentioned in connection with this matter
are newcomers here. and 1t is not strange that
they should wish our nomenclature to conform
to that of the places in which they lately resid-
ed. But it is strange that the members of
Council who are ito the manner born should
aequiesce in a change so radical and unneces-
sary. Some OF the names of streets are nearly
hundred and fifty years old. They are part
OF the history OF the town, and are associated
with the recollections aud the life of all natives
OF the place. The names Beverly. Augusta,
Frederick, Lewis. st. Clair. Coalter and others,
are cherished by all persons who were born
and reared here. Beverly street was 80 called
after the founder OF the town, in 174S; Augusta
and Frederick, after the two counties estab-
lished by law at the same time, in l73S; Lewis .af
ter the first European who settled near the site
OF Stanton, in l732;St. Clair, after promiu ent
citizen of a hundred years ago, who laid off
"Newtown;" and Coalter after citizen who
became distinguished Judge Of the Supreme
Court of Appeals. Even the name New street
is of historical interest as that street was the
first one opened on the extension of the town in
l75O. And the name Market street perpetuates
our knowledge of the fact that the town mar
ket-house was on that street early in this GEN.
tury.
So much for "sentiment'-it may be called
There is. however, a practical question to be
considered. Every deed for real estate de-
scribes the property as lying on a certain street
or at tho corner of certain streets; and when
